when he finds public performer il engaged
to appear at q concert, half an hour after the
concert begins he calls ct the artists private

and thathe has been sent for another. This
swindler has during the. past season amassed

but he il . humorist in his way, and when
he has secured and has pawned the violin,
he usually has had the grace TO return the

fields and woods are little sink.hol ct

Here and there little passages in the

mingle with the waters Of river which
they often enter through holes below its

getting deeper, the side passages are
growing larger, the ground is becoming
completely honeycombed with water
worn excavations, and thus far greater
subterranean worlds than the big lime.
stone caves we now visit In Kentucky
and Virginia are preparing for the ad-
miration Of future generations. These
| mighty excavations enable us to pene-
trate for some hundreds of feet into
the earth. The day will surely come
when the roofs of Mammoth and Luray
caves, worn thin by the water that trickles
through and dissolves them bit by bit, will
fall, and their now dark recesses will be
open to the sunlight. Verdure will cover
their ruins and there will be little to

While borings and mines reveal to us
only . few secrets relating solely TO the
temperature and constitution Of the
earth for few thousand feet below the
surface, we are able, by means Of vol
canoes, to form some notion Of what is
going ON at greater depths. There have
been many theories about the causes of
volcanoes, but It is now generally held
that though they are produced by the In
tense hest Of the interior Of the earth
they are not directly connected with the
molten mass that lies many miles below
the immediate sources Of volcanic en-
ergy. Everybody knows that many rocks
are formed on the floor Of the ocean, and
It has been found that q twentieth to q
seventh Of their weight is made
up Of imprisoned water. Now, these
rocks are buried in time under
everything strata which serve a. a
blanket to keep in the enormous heat OF
the interior. This heat turns the water
into super-heated steam, which melts the
hardest rocks, and when the steam fnds
fissure in the strata above, 1t breaks
through to the surface with terrific en-.
ergy, and we have q volcano. We find
that these outpourings that have lain

Sometimes geologists fnd strata Of
rocks that they are able to show must

feet under the surface. These upturned
edges Of rock, which some terrible con-
vulsion lifted to the air, give us glimpse
Of the condition Of the interior some
ways below the greatest depth to which
we can attain. But, after all, what we
are able to examine Of the earth be-
meath our feet IL hardly more than
what pin prick on the skin Of an
apple shows Of the fruit within. The
workmen in the deepest mines Of Eu-
rope swelter In almost intolerable heat,
and yet they have never penetrated
over one seven-t -thousandth part Of the dis.
tance from the surface to the centre Of
the earth. In the lower levels Of some
Of the Comstock mines the men fought
scalding water, and could labor only
three or four hours ct time until the
Sutro tunnel pierced the mines and drew
on some Of the terrible heat, which had
stood at 1902. The deepest boring ever
made, that at Sperenberg, near Berlin,
penetrates only Ate feet, about 1, 900 feet
deeper than the famous artesian well at
st. Louis.
The result Of this imperfect knowledge
is that there are more theories and dis
putes among scientific men with regard
to the interior Of the earth than about
any other problems Of physical science.
Some eminent physicists, for instance,
like Sir William Thomson, have believed
that the crust Of the earth is at least 900
miles thick. The majority adduce good
reasons for believing. that the crust ia
only twenty-five to fifty miles thick. All
agree that II the temperature within the
earth continues to incrsase - It does
near the surface-at the rate Of one
degree Fahrenheit for about every

rocks must be fused at no great depth

THE LEGISLATURE.
KING CAUCUS PREVAILS IN THE
ORGANIZATION OF BOTH
HOUSES.
Hon. z. W. Ewing, of Giles, Made
Speaker Of the Senate, While Hon.
Lucas Clapp, of Shelby, Yields
the Gavel in the House.
Both Bodies Complete Their Organiza-
tion---N Notes and Comments

Both houses of the forty-fifth Gener-
al Assembly of Tennessee met at noon
last Monday. Hon. T. G. Long, of
Madison, made temporary speaker of
the Senate, and DIR. H. M. Hearn, of
Cannon, temporary speaker of the
House.
The Democrats made an effort to go
into caucus on their permanent Off
GERS, Monday, butlfailed. The Senate
took three ballots for Speaker on
Monday and adjourned. On Tuesday
the Democratic members of the Sen
ate went into caucus, and on the 90th
ballot, selected Hon. u. w. Ewing, of
Giles, as Speaker, and after number
of ballots, Mr.. James A. Harris, of
Washington, was chosen as Chief
Clerk. The Democratic members
of the House held a caucus on the
same day and selected Hon. Lucas
Clapp, of Shelby, as Speaker, and
Eth B. Wade, of Rutherford, as
Clerk.
On Wednesday all of the above
named parties were elected by the
two houses. The Senate also COM
pleted its organization by the election
of the following officers: Geo. w.
Griffin, Assistant Clerk; John p.
Hickman, Sergeant-at-Arms; Caru-
theirs Ewing, Assistant Sergeant-at-
Arms; Miss Will Allen Dromgoole,
Engrossing Clerk.
In addition to the caucus nomina-
tions for Speaker and Chief Clerk the
Honse elected Mr.. G. w. Crockett as
sistant clerk, and Mrs. Lula Buchan-
an, of Maury county, as Engrossing
Clerk.
On Thursday Mr.. ]. D. Talley was
elected Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House, and Mr.. Harkreader Assistant
Sergeant-at-Arms.
Allofthe officers elected are staunch
Democrats.
1t is thought that the Librarian
will be elected today Friday There
are over sixty candidates for the posi-
ton.
The election of Treasurerand Comp
troller will not take place till the lat
ter part of next week, probably later.
The election of a United States
Senator will overshadow all other
business until it is done, and not
much legislation is likely to be had
until that is disposed of.

A Lesson to New Legislators.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
A house full of new men always
means an avalanche of bills. The old
hands have better sense. Ifellin with
Senator Greer, Of Butler, on his way
down to the session of four years ago,
and asked him if he had any new
bills in his pocket.
"Two,' he said, after a little h EST
tation.
"What is the subject matter OF
them?"
"They are repeating bills" he re-
sponded; and then, with one of his
confidential laughs, he explained:
"You see, when / first went into the
Senate | offered a great many bills
and got quite a number of them pass
ed. 1t has kept me busy repeating
them ever since. If get these two
bills passed it will wipe the last law
of my making off the statute books,
and | will quit square with the
State"

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Nashville American.
Davis, of Shelby, is the youngest
member of the House, being barely
q years of age.
1t has been ascertained that nearly
all the young members are married.
Col. Savageis an old father in Israel
among the boys. They all like him.
Just back of the Speakers stand in
the House, is the handsome portrait
of "Our Bob" which is very much
admired by the members.
Hutchins, of Hamilton, and Con-
nette, of Davidson, may yet be de-
barred the sacred privilege Of serving
their country, as notices of contests
have been filed.
Speaker Clapp enunciates every
word very plainly and can easily be
heard in every part of the House.
81 never saw so many good looking
young men in the Legislature as
now," said dycandidate last night.
"Yes'm," said the youthful member
addressed, "and | never saw so many
good looking women as candidates"
So far, the Republicans have failed
in their efforts to aid in naming one
of the officers of the House. How
ever, on several occasions they have
only lacked one or two votes of effect
ing their end.
Other questions that necessarily en-
crossed the attention of legislators,
temporarily having been settled, the
senatorship has full sway and was
vigorously discussed last night in the
Maxwell rotunda.
Next Tuesday will probably be fix
ed for the election of a United States
Senator to fill out the uneXpired term
of Senator jackson, now held by Mr.
Whitthorne. The latter gentleman
will most probably be selected.

was day of unity and harmony. In
the election of speaker and chief clerk
brotherly love seemed to prevail.
Carter and Shelby shook hands across
the great chasm, the two great parties
stood together on the same happy
plane, and dear old Robertson and
true old Lincoln clasped in loving

House voted for Mr.. Wade for clerk,
and all but four for Mr.. Clapp for
speaker. "How good and how pleas

American: A curious little coinci-
dence was told this scribe yesterday.
DIR. Harwell is the Representative
from Giles County, and Mr.. Gooden,
colored, represents Fayette County.
Before the war Mr.. Gooden was q
slave, and belonged to an uncle of DIR.
Harwell. AT one time he was given
to the latter as present, but was al
lowed to remain with his old master.
Since the war Mr.. Geoden has ever
been on the best terms with DIR. Har-

a large farm owned by DR.. Harwell
in Fayette. Thus it is the former

GOOD ADVICE.

Banner.
Keep good company, or none.
Never be idle. Ifyour hands can't be
usefully employed, attend to the
cultivation of your mind. Always
speak the truth. Make few promis-
es. Live up to your engagements.
Keep your own secrets if you have
any. When you speak to a person
look him in the face. Good company
and good conversation are the very
sinews of virtue. Good character is
above all things else; your character
cannot be essentially injured except
by your own acts. If any one speaks
evil of you let your life be so that
none will believe him. Drink no
kind of Intoxicating liquors. Ever
live misfortune excepted within
your income. When you retire to
bed think over what you have been
doing during the day. Make no haste
to be rich if you would prosper.
Small and steady gains give compe-
tency with tranquil mind. Never
play at any game Of chance. Avoid
temptation, through fear you may
not withstand it. Earn money before
you spend it. Never run into debt
unless you see away to get out again.
Never borrow if you can possibly
avoid it. Do not marry until you are
able to support wife. Never speak
evil of any one. Be just before you
are generous. Keep yourselfinnocent
if you would be happy. Save when
you are young, to spend when you
are old. Read over the above max
inns at least once a week.
